That drive also used 2x1 tubing and had 0 issues with the chassis as far as I know. Bellypan was integrated .090" pan into the front and back cross member. 10/10 would build again.
Overall, I must admit I enjoyed designing with 2x1 tube much more than with a pure sheetmetal frame. I felt that it simplified the design and was easier to have parts manufactured with a mix of tube+sheet.
